Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dj Crabby Jef (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Riley McCollins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Crabby Jef's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Madd Skillz. McCollins has chosen The Go Getter as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Dj Crabby Jef has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dj Crabby Jef seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
